THE WARDROBE ESSENTIAL every woman and man should have in their closet:

A PAIR OF FLATTERING, DARK DENIM JEANS that you love. The reason that this is TOP on my must have list is that dark jeans can be taken day into night. Casual to Dressy. They are truly an “investment piece” that can be worn often.

My advice for women: own two pairs of flattering dark denim jeans that you LOVE. One pair should be long enough to wear with a heel. Have them hemmed to the heel that you are most comfortable wearing for a dressier look. Have another pair hemmed to be worn with flat shoes, sandals or flip flops. This way you can accommodate whichever style of shoe you’d like to wear with two pairs of jeans. THAT’S IT. You don’t need more than that in your closet. SIMPLE – STRAIGHTFORWARD – EASY TO UNDERSTAND.

Save YOUR $$ and take better care of the clothes you already OWN! – My favorite garment care item for those BLACK washables is a black detergent called PERWOLL. Once, only available in Europe, is now available on http://www.amazon.com. Your black and dark colored washable clothing stays beautiful for longer. This black fixant actually help to prevent fading and protects your garments from looking dull. Once you begin your style journey, you realize that you care about what you put on your body. You want to look your best and you want your clothes to look and wear well. You save lots of $$ in the long run, be a smart shopper!

I love to share my favorite fashion products and even more importantly SHOW you how to WEAR THEM NOW! What a novel idea. I hope you like this trend and these hot products. They are some of my FAVORITES. Miss OOPS, has the BEST fashion faux pas fixers. These products allow you to transform some otherwise non-attractive shirts and bottoms into fashion forward outfits.

Its a great update to your wardrobe AND doesnt cost alot of $$$$$$$$$.

The Boob Tube – is a semi-sheer lace tube top. No more bulky layers (who needs more layers). This easy on, lace top allows you to comfortably wear low cut tops. GREAT FOR MOMS……incorporating the all important fashion and function.

Eyewear today, whether prescription or for sun protection has quickly become the MUST HAVEFASHION ACCESSORY! Many top designers have added eyewear in as an extension to their current line. Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Kate Spade, Ted Baker and now even David Yurman have lines that offer more than a frame, they offer a LOOK! They have captured a market of consumer that might not otherwise buy their high end clothing or jewelry. This consumer can afford and values buying a pair of eyewear in order to buy into the brand.

Put your FACE FIRST ! Own a great pair of glasses, they truly can enhance your look and help you to present YOUR best self. They will be the accessory that can be worn EVERY DAY! Why wouldn’t you choose a look that you LOVE! You deserve to.

How to choose the right frames to enhance your image:

Choose a frame that represents your personality and your lifestyle. A bolder frame with color if you want to make a fashion statement, a modified version for a more simple look.

You can choose a bold frame in a classic color like tortoise shell that is timeless and updated at the same time.

Have FUN with color – many of the hues available in blues, purples, browns, greens and oranges can enhance your skin tone and eye color. They also pick up the color of your clothing – it can be a great compliment to your overall style.
